The GreenShows just wrapped up in New York City, but the buzz they generated is alive and well. From Joann Berman’s rollicking frocks to Samantha Pleet’s youthful jumpers, all 10 fashion labels proved that sustainable fashion is wearable, beautiful and more than a passing fad. The passion these artists show for their work and for the earth is commendable and inspiring. As much as possible, each designer uses organic materials and eco-friendly dyes, eschews leather and suede, produces locally and pays fair wages. Being a part of The GreenShows was a natural fit for Weleda. The conscious use of resources and the responsibility toward our partners,...

To me, Weleda is more than just a skin care company. It’s also a lifestyle. It’s about treading lightly. Giving back. Reconnecting. Finding balance. Living naturally. We are Weleda each time we buy organic food, reuse shopping bags, walk instead of drive, plant a flower or care for our skin with purely natural ingredients. It’s in this spirit, in support of the Weleda way of life, that we decided to sponsor The GreenShows Eco Fashion Week, the only event committed to environmentally friendly, ethically sound and fair trade fashion during New York Fashion Week. Over this four-day event, starting on February 14th, 10 eco-minded global designers will...

During the winter, the cold, dry air takes a toll on my skin and hair, but also on my eyes. They tend to become uncomfortable, dry and irritated this time of year. Indoor heat, which draws all the moisture from the air, is a major culprit; outside, the swirling, biting wind only makes matters worse. Combined with my dust allergies and 10 hours a day in front of a computer, it’s enough to drive me to tears—literally! I’ve found that the best treatment for my red, itchy eyes is a natural, preservative-free moistener that uses homeopathic herbs. Fortunately for me, Weleda has the most amazing one: Euphrasia 3x Homeopathic Eyedrops, made from organic,...

Over my New Year’s vacation, I took a trip to Napa Valley, where I toured a certified Biodynamic vineyard called Grgich Hills Estate. It’s tucked away in the middle of the valley. The day I visited the sun was bright, the air was crisp, and the mustard flowers were in full bloom, covering the hills in bright yellow. It was the perfect day for tasting…and touring! Given my background at Weleda, I was excited to learn firsthand how Grgich uses Biodynamic agriculture to grow its grapes. I know the quality of Weleda’s products is unsurpassed because we grow our plant ingredients in our own Biodynamic gardens. So you can bet I had high expectations for...

I just returned from The Natural Beauty Summit. Despite what the name suggests, this is not a meeting of natural beauties – in most cases. The Natural Beauty Summit is an annual meeting of the leaders of the Natural Cosmetics Industry and a platform to exchange ideas that further the cause of natural products. A lot of what is discussed at this meeting will directly affect consumers (you!) in the coming months and years, so I find it appropriate to update you on some of the issues we are currently struggling with. The main problem that all the “real” natural brands, such as us, are struggling with is how to differentiate ourselves from the “pretend”...

Welcome to the entirely new and beautiful website of Weleda North America! I am very proud of what our great team has achieved in just three months. The beauty that you see throughout is what we call “Cultivating Beauty.” For me, that means looking for the beauty in everything and everyone and then cultivating it. We do this every day, and we hope to help you do the same. At Weleda, we don’t need to invent stories to make anything we do look more beautiful. It simply is. The heritage and the very nature of the company provide us with so many beautiful stories to share. The village in the Peruvian desert that cultivates the rhatania root we use in...

I've Just Started Using Some of Weleda's Skincare Products Recently and I Have To Say That I've Been So Pleasantly Surprised By The Results!! I Bought My First Product By Weleda A Month Ago And I Chose The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Because I Have Super Dry Skin And I Wanted A Deep Moisturizing Lotion To Combat The Dryness! I've Tried Other Products That Claim To Be Intensive Moisturizers And They Seem To Help Temporarily, But Never Last Very Long. Not Only Did The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Deeply Moisturize, Smooth & Plump, But The Results Lasted All Day!!! I Was So Excited Over My New Treasure Find, I Ran Out And Bought Another Tube For Fear That They Would Sell Out Or Wouldn't Have It In Stock When I Ran Out!! Weleda Calls It.....Almond Soothing Facial Lotion. I Call It.....My Mini Face Lift In A Tube!! After Using It For Over A Month Now, My Skin Has Transformed-It Looks & Feels Amazing!! Thanks Weleda!! #WeledaListens

YOU KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'VE JUST GOTTEN A NEW MAKEOVER THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE, A NEW OUTFIT THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR, A NEW PURSE YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW OFF!! EVEN BETTER, A BRAND NEW ATTITUDE?!! BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FELT AFTER FINDING WELEDA' S SKIN FOOD!! I WAS CURSED, FOR SOME REASON, WITH SUPER DRY SKIN TO THE POINT OF REDNESS, ITCHING AND EVEN PAINFUL AT TIMES AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT PAIN CAN DO TO OUR OVER-ALL DEMEANOR, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT DRY SKIN INFLAMED LOOKS HORRIBLE! THEN ONE DAY, IN TARGET, I WAS SHOPPING, FOR NO ONE THING IN PARTICULAR, AND A CUSTOMER WAS PICKING UP A TUBE AND SHE WAS SINGING ITS' PRAISES SO I BOUGHT A TUBE TO TRY AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SLATHER. AND I DO MEAN SLATHER, BECAUSE I PILED IT OWN NOT REALIZING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I HAD FINALLY FOUND A CREME THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO OVER-APPLY BECAUSE OF SEVERELY DRY SKIN. NOT ONLY WERE THE RESULTS INSTANT, BUT THE LASTING EFFECTS WERE AMAZING!! USING SKIN FOOD, FOR ME, IS LIKE HAVING A NEW MAKEOVER THAT I LOVE, AN OUTFIT I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT ON, AN ATTITUDE THAT'S HAPPY & GRATEFUL, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M CONSTANTLY SHOWING IT OFF LIKE A BRAND NEW PURSE EVERY DAY I PUT IT ON AS WELL AS BRAGGING NON-STOP!!! #WeledaListens

I love Weleda on the account of many things. First of all, I love that Weleda uses biodynamic plants. I love the connection and energy to anthroposophy. For this reason, we only (by we I mean myself and my baby girl) only use Weleda products or products that I make because I know and trust the products. Weleda ultimately also inspired me to start making my own products. I now have my own business and sell my lip balms in close to 100 stores nationally! This has all been a gigantic blessing being a mother who gets to be at home with her now almost 2 year old pride of her life!! I have been a long time fan of Weleda. My baby girl and I share the same soaps and lotions. It's hard to choose one product for a possibly year supply, but I chose the calendula shampoo and body wash because we go through it the fastest! Im a sincere fan of Weleda. Glad to offer up a testimonial!
